MAY MOOD 😵‍💫

End-of-year events, vacations, sports schedules… it’s a LOT. And for many families, speech therapy can start to feel like “one more thing” to fit into an already packed calendar.

If scheduling has felt tricky lately, you are definitely not alone 🤍 Summer scheduling is already underway and can be a great time to maintain momentum while often offering a bit more flexibility for families!

As always, I’m happy to work together to find a schedule that feels manageable during the chaos of May and beyond.

Three little words… but so much more than that!

When your child says a phrase like this, it’s not just exciting because they’re combining words — it’s exciting because they’re building a complete sentence.

✨ Mama → subject
✨ read → verb
✨ book → object

That means your child isn’t just talking — they’re beginning to understand how language is organized. And that’s a HUGE developmental step.

And let’s talk about that middle piece for a second — the verb. Verbs are the POWER source of a sentence. They tell us what’s happening. Without them, we just have labels… not ideas.

It’s something I’m always intentional about in sessions with little ones — modeling a variety of sentence patterns, especially action words, and paying close attention to the ones they begin using on their own.

Because it’s not just about saying more words… it’s about learning how to put them together.

Varied sentence patterns — with strong, meaningful verbs — lay the foundation for grammar, storytelling, and meaningful conversations down the line!
